Countertop is in!

Monday morning, way before our wake up time, the phone rang. It was the countertop installation person, asking if he could come an hour early. "Sure", I said, "since you already woke us up...". He apologized, and a few minutes later showed up ready to install the countertops.We got them from the Home Depot, and they are made by Corian. They came with a free integrated sink that fitted our sink base cabinet, and a free edge upgrade; we chose the bullnose edge. Very classy. We ended up paying around $1700.

Here is the installer drilling holes for the faucet:

After the countertops were installed, we could start working on the installing the faucet. Here's what it looks like under the sink now:

The drain is not attached yet, because we keep finding more tubes that need extensions. Maybe tomorrow!

But we do have our sink:

Isn't it lovely??We got it from the online Home Depot for about $90 less than they charge for the same thing at the store (we paid $100).And just a general look at the countertop by the sink, even though there's still a lot of work-related mess:

About Me

So many blogs, so little time... I started with a blog about breads that my husband bakes (mmm... yum!), then figured that other foods deserve a blog as well. Joining Illustration Friday required yet another blog. One also has to keep track of all the books one reads, right? And what about buying an old house with lots of problems (=lots of writing material)? Yup, that's why so many blogs.
